The poet Was a professor OF English

they passed through Baltimore.

AGAIN we would suggest that -four
ing mill of the right kind is what is needed
in Mason Valley. Before we have mention
ed this matter. and at one time it was re-
ported that parties would build hrst-class
mill at some point in the Valley. No more
is this talk heard. In our opinion a mill
would prove paying investment for parties
who have money to invest and experience in
this business. The finest wheat in the world
is raised in Mason and Smith Valleys, and
there is no reason why the finest -four can
not he made if the business is properly man
aged. Farmers could raise more wheat if
there was mill and sell it at better figures,
for there is always a good market for -four,
and along the line Of the c. & c., road are
many camps to be supplied with this neces-
sity of life. The mining camps in the in
terror must also be supplied. limo one with
money to invest in such an enterprise can be
found, why would it not be good idea for
the farmers to form joint stock company
and build the mill themselves. There is
money in the proposition and some day some
body will get it out.

Foley, Bradley and Russell, of Elko county,
have purchased the English mill property at
Reno for the sum'of Sos, 900 and operations

used for securing wool, but, no doubt, will
eventually become hrst.class wooden mill

this time on it will be the duty of Nevada
wool-growers to keep their wool at home,

THE SILVER BLOCKADE

P. Lillienthal, of the Anglo California
Bank was seen by San Francisco Chronicle
reporter Monday, with reference to the banks
refusing to take silver dollars, when he said
'The Government, as you are aware, ships
out silver all over the country at its own ex-
pense against deposiiors of gold. Well.
when the country is through with that silver
it drifts back into the city and depositors put
il in the bank. In the East where the Gov
eminent has plenty of vault-room, that silver
can be handed back to the Government
against the gold. Up to three or four months
ago the Sub Treasury here did the same
thing, but they claim they have no room and
they refuse to redeem standard dollars. The
CONSEQUENCE is that the bank vaults are be-
coming the receptaeles of that specie instead
Of the Government, and until such time as
the Government increases the vault room or
ships the silver away, this state of things
will continue. In addition to that, one Of
the Chinese banks has received a consign.
nent Of half a million trade dollars, which
under Che late law are convertible into stand
ard dollars, and they are also pressing this
upon the market. So that in self.protection
from lack of room to store silver the local
banks must refuse to receive silver on de
posit."
